Learn to Cook with Confidence!

Our in-person, 2-hour  “Master Chef” classes are designed for intermediate and experienced cooks eager to explore new cuisines or master advanced techniques.

Each stand-alone Master Chef session dives deep into a specific cuisine, dietary preference, or skill—think refining your risotto or cacio e pepe technique, exploring authentic regional cuisines of China, or mastering the art of perfect sourdough bread. It’s the ideal way to challenge yourself, get creative, and connect with other passionate home cooks. Sign up by clicking “see schedule” at the bottom of the page. Here are the current classes:

Baking Sourdough at Home

With the price of artisan bread soaring, who would not want to bake at home? In this class you will learn the process and technique for making a spectacular and healthy sourdough loaf and take home the recipe along with a near-decade old sourdough starter.

From Tagine to Jawhara: Moroccan Traditional Cuisine

Moroccan cuisine sits in a beautiful intersection between the old European culinary traditions and the North African palate. It is exciting without being overwhelming. In this class, you will learn how to assemble a traditional Moroccan meal, from the appetizer platter with tektouka and homemade khobz to a perfect tagine and jawhara dessert.

Paella and Fideua Rivalry: Spanish Regional Cuisine

Spanish food is as diverse as the country itself. From Andalusian salmorejo to Castillian tapas to Basque marmitako, the country’s regional identity is expressed in dishes as varied as they are delicious. In this class you will learn how to make paella and fideua, the two of the most famous yet tricky-to-make-well dishes.

Cooking French: The Art of Braising

The heart of French cuisine lies in a perfect braise: Coq-au-vin, boeuf bourguignon, bouillabaisse. Traditional French dishes are hearty, delicious, and easy to make once you’ve mastered the art of braising in this class.

Pasta vs Rice: Italian Regional Cuisine

Roman Cacio e Pepe or Milanese risotto - which is your favorite Italian dish to cook and to eat? You will learn to cook both in this class and a bonus classic Italian flourless cake (torta caprese).

Thai Beyond Pad Thai

Flavorful, aromatic, spicy - Thai food, cooked well, will never disappoint. In this class, you will learn how to cook famous Thai curries (green and red), papaya salad, and a Thai eggplant salad with nam prik that will delight even carnivores.

Cooking Authentic Chinese: Cantonese

From dim sum to lo mein, in this class you discover how to cook authentic Cantonese dishes. Not as fiery as its Sichuan neighbor, Cantonese cuisine is known for its subtlety, freshness, and delicate balance of flavors.

Cooking Authentic Chinese: Northern

Northern Chinese cuisine offers dishes that are perhaps closest to American palate in that they are hearty, moderately spicy, and highly satisfying. In this class we will focus on building the skill of making dumplings by hand (it’s easier than you think!) and cooking traditional Northern Chinese dishes such as noodle dishes and stir-fried vegetables.
